aside to medson: when Richard made a "trading deadline" reference in his show tonight it made me realize you are the Shohei Ohtani of the RNSStream: Knockin' em deep Friday afternoons with Musical Dose and killin' em with the breaking ball Sunday night and Rama Lama Ding Dong. Double threat! Remember that at renegotiation time with Mr. Sin

The Stranglers! Yes!!! I saw Hugh doing Rattus Norvegicus in its entirety awhile back. Great show. He had Chris Stein on bass, too, which was a treat. Closest I ever got to seeing The Stranglers, I'm afraid.

I saw a group purporting to be the Stranglers at Asbury Park's Fast Lane 30 years ago, but I'm unsure how authentic the lineup was.
Since then, I've seen Hugh Cornwell a few times at Long Branch's Brighton Bar.
Avatar 🥃 ♥ 9:22pm
Harry Parmenter:

↳ David Shortell @9:21
Probably the one with Paul Roberts singing and John Ellis, ex-Vibrators on guitar after Hugh Cornwell left. Also JJs Japanese friend on drums if Jet Black was ailing as he often was. The Hoover nickname caught up with him eventually

Harry, you said the Stranglers were disrespected. Lots of good artists are. I remember the innovative Gary Numan getting crucified by the British musickpress. it was not traditional guitar bass and drums, Almost killed his career, Heard less about Stranglers disrespect - but not surprised. Anyway, enjoying them very much now, Thank you!

they had a long run. yeah he was in poor health before that, in his 70s. saw their last US gig ever with him in LA and he was amazing as usual, especially on the closer, Walk On By. He's what set them apart in the early days.
